I apologize for not getting back to you. The volume knob arrived and looks very nice and well built. The feel of the knob detects is quite nice.

I was hoping it would be panel mounted using a nut onto the body of the knob itself, would be much easier to mount than four holes in the pcb that are set back from where the volume knob will sit against the panel it mounts to. Unless you had something specific in mind for the mounting it looks like it may be tricky with what I had in mind.

Unfortunately I do not have it mounted yet as after it had shipped I got another email that my display ship date was pushed back again to end of July. I want to mount this near to the screen so I need to wait for my screen before I can mount this.

Sorry for the delay I hope to have this up and going soon. I wasn't expecting another delay in getting my screen. It has been months since I ordered it.

This would be a major fail, now I know why when I asked about shaft mounting back in post #73 it wasn't answered. Back to the design board.

TruckPC - gutted, being used for test setup
BoatPC - All in 1 in cuddy, N7 using VNC on dash, RR
BlazerPC - Nexus 7 with Timur's USBROM

The best one I have found to fit a OEM looking install is this one here but I don't know what size and type of shaft it takes and it also won't illumiate. Also $10 seems a bit pricy for a piece of plastic
